hey people on darflen again after my 5 day (?) break i forgot, here’s post number 384, not like it matters
lately, I’ve been struggling with the whole “why bother” question when it comes to posting. every time I drop something, it just kinda sits there, untouched, unnoticed, like it never existed. zero engagement, no feedback, just me staring at the screen wondering if I’m wasting my time.
which, honestly, makes sense. I don’t follow anyone, don’t engage, just post into the void and hope something sticks. but it still sucks. putting effort into something only for it to feel like shouting into an empty room.
it’s not even about going viral or getting tons of attention. just some kind of recognition that what I’m doing exists. but nah, every time it’s the same story. and with every post that flops, motivation gets lower and lower, until I start questioning why I even bother at all.
not saying I’m quitting, but yeah, it’s hard to keep pushing forward when nothing ever changes. anyway, that’s where I’m at right now. maybe I’ll figure it out, maybe I won’t. who knows.
part 2 because i wanted to expand
but here’s the real issue to me. while i sit here agonizing over effort vs. results, i see people posting whatever. blurry photos, half-baked thoughts, vague ramblings that barely make sense, and somehow they still get something. a couple likes. a random comment. just some indication that people saw it, even if they barely processed it.
so what am i doing wrong? is it too much effort that’s the problem? should i start dropping nonsense and hope for the best? maybe engagement isn’t about polish or thoughtfulness. maybe it’s just being there, constantly, like a background noise that people eventually start noticing.
meanwhile, qxva is out here churning out nonsense daily like it’s a form of high art, acting like he’s the backbone of this platform because he happens to post more than anyone else. spamming the feed like it’s his personal diary and then patting himself on the back for being "the most active." as if sheer volume equals value.
which would make sense. posting low-effort stuff is easier, faster, less emotionally taxing. it’s not tied to expectations, just existence. no overthinking, no hesitation, just throwing things out and moving on.
but is that what i want? do i want to contribute to the endless scroll of meaningless content? maybe. maybe not. depends on the day.
for now, i’ll keep doing what i do, even if it feels like screaming into the void. but if you’re someone who posts the equivalent of a blurry picture of your cat and still gets engagement, what’s the secret?

Wild portobello mushrooms contain a considerable amount of agaritine which can be turned into hydrazine by using homogenate samples of rat and mice kidneys to "metabolise" it removing the glutamyl group from its makeup.
Hydrazine when mixed with an oxidizing agent combusts violently and efficiently and is used commonly as rocket fuel and can also be used for explosives
Agaritine is removed via cooking the mushrooms as before conversion it is heat unstable and breaks down harmlessly.
Consumption of agartine isnt reccomended as it bonds to DNA via enzymatic activation and forms a mutagenic agent leading to irreversible and heritable changes to your dna.
The actual effects of which is in extreme cases possible cell death and otherwise it can cause new formation of genes (rare) and possible damage or loss of current ones and in rare cases cancer.

silence can be pretty powerful when it comes to shutting down pointless drama
